** A Latin American dub aired on various tv channels across South America during the 90's but the show's license was discontinued on the early 2000's (the las reported aired was on a Chilean channel called TVN during the summer of 2001) and the dub became lost. Wasn't until 2021 when a mexican Mega Man was able to track down various VHS recordings of the show from different countries and save the audio, making a good chunck of the dub available once again after years of rumors.

* ActingForTwo: Ian Corlett voices both Mega Man and Snake Man. Pretty useful that one episode has them switch bodies.

* BadExportForYou: Only the first episode was released in Japan, and it was sub-only. (Supposedly, it ''did'' get a Japanese dub later, but the sources that claim this never have any proof--not even Wiki/TheOtherWiki.)

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: A long-standing rumor was that a third season was planned that would more closely follow the games, introduce Bass, and have Proto Man make a HeelFaceTurn, but [[https://siphersaysstuff.tumblr.com/post/8519989554/joerubyinterview according to Joe Ruby]] the show proceeded as scheduled with two seasons and Bass was just a rumor.

** An earlier pitch for the series featured a much more faithful {{Anime}} art direction inspired by the Japanese artwork of the games. ''Anime/MegaManUponAStar'''s first episode, "Appearance in Japan," would've been a VerySpecialEpisode. From that OVA, Gregory Smith and Kaj-Erik Erikson were intended to play Mega Man and Proto Man respectively, while Light and Wily kept their voices for the final product.

* FanNickname
** "Kung-Fu Cut Man" is generally used to refer to this version of Cut Man, who nicknamed ''himself'' this as he prepared to fight Roll. This happened in the time travel episode, with a future version of Cutman using this name.
** "Scooby Rush" for this interpration of Mega's robo-canine Rush, who acts a lot like Franchise/ScoobyDoo.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Mega only exclaimed "Now ''I've'' got your power!" twice at most, yet a lot of people think it's his main catchphrase.

* AscendedMeme: Discotek's release of the series actually has Pharaoh Man is Awesome on the back of the box. It also has a family-friendly version of another Pharaoh Man meme ala "He doesn't even care!"
* BadExportForYou: Only the first episode was released in Japan, and it was sub-only. (Supposedly, it ''did'' get a Japanese dub later, but the sources that claim this never have any proof--not even Wiki/TheOtherWiki.)

** Furthermore, during the episode where he spots Guts Man by his you-know-what, he only ever exclaims "Guts Man!" (without the "It's"). There's also no "duh-nuh!" either.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Proto Man [[AdaptationalVillainy being aligned with Wily]] was requested by {{Creator/Capcom}}.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show was released on DVD by Creator/ADVFilms, but that release has since gone out of print. Creator/DiscotekMedia now holds the license, and has since [[AvertedTrope released their own DVD]].

* TheOtherDarrin: Roll's voice actresses alternated between Robyn Ross and Kathleen Barr in the first season. The second season settled on Robyn.
* ScrewedByTheMerchandise: Despite great ratings, the series was cancelled after two seasons partially because [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai]] cut several toy lines due to poor sales and were putting merchandising pressure on Capcom.

** [[http://siphersaysstuff.tumblr.com/post/8519989554/joerubbyinterview According to this interview]], Dr. Wily was originally going to have a British accent, and Proto Man was to have been voiced by Ian James Corlett, Mega Man's voice actor, after Kaj-Erik Erikson was fired. Wily's design was also more faithful to the games, as was Proto Man's, but Bass and a third season were a rumor and the show was complete at 27 episodes.
** Supposedly, Marvel had considered doing a comic based on the cartoon, but it was canned by Capcom. The exact truth is unknown.
** A SpinOff cartoon based on ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' was planned, but never came to fruition. X and Sigma still managed to put in an appearance in the penultimate episode.
** According to the show's [=IMDb=] page, there may have been plans to start including ''VideoGame/MegaMan6'' robot masters, as Knight Man and Plant Man have voice actors listed.
** Additional toys were planned and even shown off at Toy Fair, including Mega Man in his Sky, Marine and Stealth armors, the Land Blazer vehicle and a playset based on Dr. Light's lab. Ironically, the Land Blazer and Mega Man's variant suits had been written into the show's second season to promote the toys, which wound up not being produced.
